OPERATING IN A COVID-19 WORLD CHALLENGE #1
Returning to Operations / Returning to Travel, Testing and Contact Tracing
Since March 2020, International SOS has provided more than 550 health and security consulting engagements to organisations around the globe. Many of them shared with us the main challenges they face within the current environment. These are the top four challenges.
You are reading challenge #1 and how we can support. Visit #2, #3 and #4 at the bottom of this page for additional information and how International SOS can help.

  • How to develop a global policy and meet local regulations.
  • Full travel restrictions, flight operations and country screening information - Managing the correct and current information on essential travel for each destination.
  • COVID-19 situation at destination.
The safety of your workplace and your domestic and international operations remains a primary focus as lockdown measures and travel restrictions begin to relax. International SOS can help ensure that the return to operations and travel is safe and sustainable. While no business can fully guarantee preventing coronavirus infection, vital precautionary steps can minimise risks, help fulfill  Duty of Care responsibilities and promote workforce resilience.

Whatever the circumstances, assets or locations, preparation and real-time insights are a must to detect threats, mitigate risks, and provide swift mitigation measures if needed.

International SOS services take into account local governmental guidelines and an assessment of what is necessary for a particular workforce to return to operations, both from a logistical perspective and personal one. Failure to manage a safe return could result in a step backwards in productivity and could even result in costly legal actions.
